"A Certificate at the end of Year 11..."
Secondary School Certificate and Profile (SSC&P)
This is a certificate awarded to students at the end of Year 11. It can be awarded at MQF Level 1, 2 or 3. The level it is awarded at depends on the amount of points that the student obtains throughout his five years of secondary education in the following areas:
Non-Formal Learning
- Non-academic Learning Activities performed by the student DURING school hours
Informal Learning
- Non-academic Learning Activities performed by the student AFTER school hours
The level that the SSC&P is awarded at is based on the following cut off points (i.e. amount of points needed):
No Level
MQF Level 1
MQF Level 2
MQF Level 3
The certificate is built over the five years of secondary education and therefore informal and non-formal learning activities need to be built up over the five years, except for the Formal Learning part which is based entirely on the school leaving examination results.
For a student to obtain 20/20 in the Non-Formal learning part of the certificate, students need to participate at least in one non-formal activity every year of his secondary education.
For a student to obtain 15/15 in the Informal learning part of the certificate, students need to participate in at least 3 informal activities spread over three different years of their secondary education.
